Tramontana R in North America
Posted on Nov 12 - Filed Under Cars | View Comments
In the world of uber-exclusive modern carbon fiber clad exotic supercars this is one of the rarest. The Tramontana R is powered by an overhauled twin-turbo 5.5 liter AMG Mercedes v12 producing an astounding 720 brake horse power and 811 pounds per square feet of torque which rockets the 2795 chasis to 62mph in just 3.6 seconds and very capable of breaching speeds in excess of 200 mph.
What’s more amazing yet is Tramontana only produces 12 examples of this F1 inspired vehicle every year, and this is the only example on American soil. With a handful of Veyrons running around and even a couple Konigseggs in town, this is one extremely rare current production car – and as with all exclusive carbon clad super cars, it carries a hefty price tag – 500,000 euros (~ $742,000) to be exact.
